Y’all I cannot make this up. The two therapists I was with today ignored me ALL DAY…Except for when one of them joked in front of two other people that I must have been “so hungry” because I ate my grilled chicken leg “down to the bone.”

Huh??? That’s how you eat it??? If you’re gonna tease a fat girl, at least make it make sense??? That was so weak 😭

Coda. You of all people. Grief. The way Kes had to break Tuvok's hold on her & The way he kept asking if she heard anything - anything at all.

Open yourself to the impressions around you, The thoughts, the minds that are on this ship. All the minds that are on this ship. So many voices.

They are a turbulent storm, and you are the one who must rise above the tempest, to a place that is quiet. It's difficult.

You must lift yourself from the confusion of the storm. Soar into the quiet space among the stars where everything is still. Is there a voice that you can hear? A single voice isolated in the stillness?

Is there anything? Any presence in the void with you? I can't hear anything.

Now I am with you, moving through the quiet space. My thoughts join with yours, extending the range of the search.

(You have to find me.) (Surely, you must know I'm here?) Empty. Alone. (We've shared so much.) Failure. Forced.

Tactical Officer's Log: Is there anything? Is there anything? Is there anything? I('m searching for) a good friend, one I can never replace.

Is there anything? Is there anything? Is there anything? A single voice, isolated in that void? (we've shared so much.) I don't want to come up for air. My lungs force me to breathe.

formerly an essay in tags but - billie lurk. half-nameless, misremembered woman. her powers derived from the things taken from her, without any catharsis or empowerment. the rat charm, tied with deidre's hair, her lover's voice in the mouth of rats. her arm and eye, taken, given back only to cause her chronic pain, then lost again. foresight seems a cruel gift for a woman who botched the timing of her takeover of the whalers, and bet wrong when it came to delilah.

she never bore the outsider's blessing; his first visit to her was more like an assault. every other dishonored POV character gets the choice to be selfish, and for that selfishness to mean something, but billie's actions have no effect on the world at large, either, in a game without a chaos system.

some say that corvo is the ghost, but he can reach out and change things. billie's buried herself twice and come back and nothing she does seems to matter - she is less a protagonist, more a convenient full stop in the narrative.

try this: open doto, start a new game. sit in her cabin. notice how little of billie there is. even the woman she loved more than anyone has the face of another named character.

she sits amongst the assets of other games: empty canvases and a dressmaker's mannequin that wears nothing.

What this website really needs is a button that will allow me to filter all y/n content out of my feed so I don't ever have to see it because I absolutely can't stand it, my ass does not want to be in a relationship with my favorite characters my ass wants them to be dating each other

I once went to one of their inbox to tell them to please stop tagging elucien if their posts is just about bashing elriel and they basically told me to f*ck off and they can "do what they want" or whatever. I swear, these are the same little sh*ts that would complain about Elriels tagging elucien.

It's the fact that it's always the same 5 people that have literally no hobbies but complain about Elriels. They're lurking in the gwynriel tag too. They're covering the sweet content we're looking for with their bullshit posts.

"Look what these Elriels say-" NO I DON'T WANNA LOOK CAUSE I DON'T CARE! WHY ARE YOU STALKING THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE???

I don't want to see the hurtful stuff they say about Lucien and Elucien, nor do I care about their theories and Interpretation. I blocked the elriel tag and some elriels so that I won't have to see their posts. Heck, I'm avoiding acotar content on Tik tok and Twitter just so I won't see anything elriel and anti elucien related. If I wanted to see anti elriel content, I'd go to the anti elriel tag. It's that simple.

The thing is, I also tried to be more open to the Elriel ship. I'm very confident in Elucien, but should Elriel be endgame then I want to be okay with it. However, these little shits that constantly shove statements from toxic elriels to my face make it very difficult for me. It brings me back to "Elriels are so toxic" thoughts.

Sry for the long rant. It just angers me.

Babe, I once told people to stop taking the bait and they told me to get off my high horse so I feel you on that. Is it getting on a high horse to say that not everything on the internet is made in good faith and by answering obvious trolls...you give them the fight they want? Wow you sure showed them.

But at its core, LB said it best. It's not a bipartisan system and you actually can't tell anything about a person based on the ship they like. If some folks had any self awareness they'd realize they are literally no better than the people they claim to hate and for every one person hyping them up, 8 others feel discouraged and burned out from all the negativity. A fandom can't sustain itself on pure spite- you need people who passionately love the series enough to draw art, write fic, create headcanons etc etc, and to that end you have to let go of the utter boring obsession with what is and is not canon.

I took screenshots of that post, and one person said "the author wrote it that way for a reason???" and to that I'd say, she wrote enough to make elriel a very popular ship, too. Are we picking and choosing? Are we saying you're not allowed to ship something if it isn't canon? No more Neris, no Rhysta, no Casslain, no Azris? And who gets to decide what is and is not canon? Someone on that post was discussing what "true" eluciens are, which excludes me along with a vast swath of other people.

I didn't elect any of these people to decide what I was allowed to write about or commission art for- Like the cherry picking so people can be faux outraged and then take screenshots of one of the most popular artists in the fandom, with a VERY distinct style to create a victim narrative that allows them to feel good about bullying is just overdone and boring at this point.

Anyway, I'll always advocate for blocking people and creating spaces that feel good. And I'll continue saying that if you hate something that much, you should stop engaging with it. No one is ever going to change my mind about elucien, I'm confident in my choices and even if SJM doesn't go that direction, I'll still be writing elucien like idgaf. The constant looking each other up to talk shit reeks of insecurity and boredom. Couldn't be me.

I like putting my own special little snowflake spin on things. Here's my favorite of mun's PeanutBub playlist with links that actually work for everyone. And no, I won't be using the ones you're all expecting. My music taste expands beyond just what Ryan Reynold's nostalgia plays on repeat. Enjoy!

Now that i've listened to Coco Moon nonstop for like 3 weeks, i kinda feel like rambling. I cant keep my thoughts contained.

I like connecting songs to one another. I wanna point out something that stood out to me and i havent been able to get it off my mind since.

In Vitamin Sea, adam says "I ain't concerned if i sunburn, i'll catch all the rays i can". And then 1 song later the blonde girl in Learn How to Surf says "Kick up the sand cause your tan proves you lived through the burn". And, like, i know adam has a TON of ocean/water themed songs, and sunburns are obviously common in the beach. But i just can't help but think of Sunburn (the song). Cause, uh, duh.

It's actually super cool to think about, comparing the quotes side by side, plus adding Sunburn's very own chorus of "We both put our sunblock on / Played on the beach / And vowed that we'd live and we'd learn / But she got a tan and i got a sunburn". Especially since, to me, Sunburn has always been about a relationship that reached its end, and the persona adam sings through seems to have gotten the "bad end of the stick". He got sunburned, hurt, stuck to all those memories he can't let go, while the girl, tanned, with a heartstopper of smile, is able to move on.

And it's super interesting how easily it all ties together. She got a tan and I got a sunburn. I aint concerned if i sunburn. Cause your tan proves you lived through the burn.

Idk id probably have a more eloquent conclusion to this if i actually knew how to express my thoughts, but yeah. Its cool to me. It's like a character development, if you assume those three quotes are from the same persona. At some point the boy stopped being scared of getting sunburned, of putting himself out there. An experience is an experience, let it be good or bad, and sometimes the consequences won't matter that much. And he's willing to go through it. He's tanning, after all the sunburns. I think it's very fitting, also, considering how much more confident adam has been presenting himself in his songs lately.

I miss having an extrovert teammate hhhh why am I pressuring myself to welcome our new designer and making this team meeting like. not awkward. I'm not the social person!!! but someone needs to break the ice and not make this experience terrible for the new hire and if no one's doing it I'm gonna make myself do it. I don't like doing this btw!! but it's a terrible feeling to join a new team and not feel welcome like helloooooo we're gonna be working closely together from now on
